Weird
In Mr Stein’s case, he was pounced on as the crew and other travellers looked on. The drama unfolded less than an hour into the flight. As he settled down with a book and a ginger ale, the father-of-three was grabbed from behind and held in a head-lock.
“This guy just told me his name was Michael Wilk, that he was with the New York Police Department, that I’d been acting suspiciously and should stay calm. I could barely find my voice and couldn’t believe it was happening,” said Mr Stein.

pull his eyes out of his head, he will turn loose. then crush his windpipe. After all, he was acting suspicious when he attacked another passenger and put him in a headlock. I thought he was trying to take a hostage in a hijack attempt.

Yeah, I would have been working on trying to jam a pen in his eyesocket, too.

He should have responded “I’m a lawyer. See y’all in court.”

Excellent comments.
The only problem I can think with fighting back is that it would get you a whole bunch more people jumping in to help the vigilante. I think I’d wait until the plane landed then when the cops show up to kick this jerk in the crotch.
But then, the lawsuit angle is just so much more diabolical. It lets you torture the bastard for a much longer time. (That is if you can find out who he is, which seems to be the ongoing issue here.)
